Note to Mrs. Moore; I’m so sorry! I apologize for the lateness of my paper. You’re the best! By the way, the plot was extremely complex so I couldn’t do it without so much detail. SORRY! D:

The Host
By Myah Dalton

A riveting dystopian novel with dreamed up characters, Melanie and Wanderer, written into something amazing by Stephanie Myer becomes the extraordinary book, “The Host.” In a land thousands of years from now there is an earth, among this earth is a civilization occupied by human bodies, but their minds are occupied by peacekeeping, for lack of a better word, aliens. They call themselves souls and they live in, basically, a utopian society, where arguing, fighting, dishonesty, and aggression are a foreign topic to the souls, but there is a resistance, a group of humans who are fighting against them. Melanie Stryder is a part of this resistance and when she gets caught, Wanderer is the host inserted inside to find out where the resistance is located. As Melanie strives to keep her loves ones safe, she forces past memories of her lover Jared and her little brother Jamie into Wanderer’s thoughts. Soon, Wanderer is yearning for the relationships that she has never experienced and feels a new desire to protect them also. Melanie and Wanderer abandon the city in search for the love they’re both dying to have. Stephanie showed me that even in the most desperate times; love can fight the hardest battles.
As Melanie and Wanderer travel into the deserts of Arizona, they only have one thing keeping them motivated, Jared and Jaime. With only as much water as they can carry on their one back and two granola bars they venture. The only thing they have to go by are the lines Melanie’s Uncle Jeb drew for her so long ago. Unfortunately, the thirstier and hungrier they become, the more their determination ceases. The last tear never comes as the heat dries it before it has the chance to fall. They rest at the only tree in the desert and accept death for what it is.

    Allyson is the ultimate good girl, but toward the end of a surprisingly boring post-graduation tour of Europe, she makes an impulsive decision to skip the Royal Shakespeare Theatre's Hamlet for a street production of Twelfth Night featuring a striking Dutch actor. The next day, Allyson bumps into the handsome Dutchman, Willem, on a train ride to London, and they strike up a flirtatious banter in which he dubs her Lulu. After their two-hour trip, Willem offers to show "Lulu" around Paris "for JUST ONE DAY," and to her best friend's shock, she agrees. During their intimate day (and night) in Paris together, Allyson lets go of her inhibitions and enjoys taking risks, getting lost in the sights and sounds of a new place, and most of all, falling for this deep and enigmatic guy. But the next morning, Willem is inexplicably gone. Distraught and depressed, Allyson spends the entire following year coming to terms with how whirlwind romance changed the course of her life. Author Gayle Forman has already impressed readers with a moving novel about the difference a day makes, so it's no surprise she's taken the idea and inserted strangers instead of estranged exes as she did in Where She Went. Forman has created in Allyson's story not only the kind of intense 24-hour romance that quickens pulses but also a truly transformative coming-of-age tale that will inspire young women to take the Shakespearean line "to thine own self be true" to heart. By allowing Willem to rename her Lulu (he never learns her real name that night), Allyson starts off acting like a more adventurous spirit but slowly comes to realize she is capable of so much more than meeting her parents' straight-A, pre-med, Ivy League expectations.…

    Kody Scott grew up in South Central L.A. during the nineteen-sixties and seventies, soon after the creation of the Crips. Raised in poverty without a father, and a full family raised solely by his mother, Kody Scott led the stereotypical "ghetto" life, a poor and broken home. However he does not blame this on his own personal decision to join the Crips while only eleven year's old. The allure of the respect and "glory" that "bangers" got, along with the unity of the "set"(name for the specific gang) is what drew him into the gang. Once joined, he vowed to stay in the "set" for life, and claimed that banging was his life. After many years of still believing this, he eventually realized that the thug life was no longer for him, and that gangs were a problem on society and the "Afrikan" race(page 382-383).…
